that stock and also upon that of several
other holders, but I have not exercised
the options, nor do | intend to do So.
The statement in some of the papers
that purchased large blocks of Baltl-
more & Ohio stock is mistake. AS L
have stated, [ had the options, but cir
cumstances rendere1 it unnecessary to
close them. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company, it's properties including
its large telegraph system, and the own
ership Of its stock remain now as they
were at the opening of the. negotia-
tions. The wide spread pub
lie interest which these nego-
tiations excited, and the many
false and foolish rumors to which
they have given rise, justify me IN de-
parting from my usual course in making
this formal statement of their final ter
mination.
Thanking you for the kindly terms
in which you have been pleased to re-
fer to the Baltimore & Ohio Company
and it's future, and acknowledging the
correctness of your Judgment and that
of many other friends as to the proprie-
ty of making public this letter, [ am as

Effect OF Hot Weather on Rails.
From the Iron Monger.

From the Iron Monger.
SO intense was the heat On Monday
last that some of the rails on the
London and Northwestern Railway
between Huyton and Prescott, became
twisted, and for q time put an entire
stop to the whole of the traffic be-
tween Liverpool and the stations 60
ing north. The first train that was
stopped was the 2:15 p. M. from
Lime Street for Carlisle and Scotland,
and before it could proceed on its Jour-
ney it had to be got on to the up line,
and be conveyed on it to the next
station, involving a delay Of about
twenty minutes. Succeeding trains
were similarly blocked. The matter
was put right by cutting off between
three and four inches of each rail, one
length of which only was twisted,
which occupied over an hour with the
result that the trains for the north were
delayed at Huyton Junction till $40
O'Clock. The rails affected run along
an exposed portion ofthe track known
BIS the Bank. They are ght-jointed
for some distance, and this allows for
no expansion. 1t is believed that the
rails would have remained in their
position Notwithstanding theereat ex-
pansion to which they were subjected
but for the fact that number of men
were working on the lines, as usual,
and they disturbed the lines, which
once started, did not take long to as
sumo remarkably unusual form

RUN DOWN IN A CUT.
Horrible Accident Thursday Morning on
the Erie Railroad.

the Erie Railroad.
New York, July 21.-One of those
frightful accidents which come with ap-
palling suddenness when there is no
apparent reason why they could not be
easily avoided, took place this morning
on the Erie Railroad between Allendale
and Hohokus. The catastrophe was at
tended with an appalling loss of life and
over dozen mangled bodies on the
track attested the neglect of some one
whose duty it should have been to give
warning of the impending disaster.
A gang of Italian laborers were at
work ballasting on the railroad little
distance from sharp curve about three
fourths of mile above Hohokus. The
Chicago express, which was due an hour
before, had not arrived and these men
were busy at work unconscious of the
trrrible fate which was in store for them.
At quarter past o'clock
the delayed express rushed round
the curve before the men
had the slightest warning and dashed
through them, killing twelve or fifteen
on the spot and wounding many others.
The shrieks of the victims were heart
rending and when the train slowed up
the track presented the sickening sight
Of being covered with mangled bodies,
the rails being spattered with blood
and broken limbs and pieces of
ragged flesh being scattered in all
directions. Some of the bodies
were manggled beyond recogni-
ton and crushed out of all semblance OF
humanity. To most of the victims death
must have come instantaneously, but
some of them appeared to be yet CULVER
ing and life ebbing away when the train
was brought to a standstill. There was
only fifteen minutes delay, and the train
which had wrought so much disaster
proceeded on its way from Allendale to
Hohokus.
The question of whom is to blame is
yet to be settled, but it is claimed that
it was the duty of the foreman of the
gang of laborers to watch for approach
ing trains at the dangerous curves and
that he must have neglected to give the
warning whistle. w. L. Hudson, a
passenger on local train which
was behind the Chicago express, in con-
versatiOn with reporter, described the
scene as one of the most sickening that
could be witnessed. 'Along the tracks, /"
he said, "were arms, legs, trunks and
other parts ofthe bodies, and the tracks
for long distance were slippery with
blood The disaster must have taken
place with such appalling suddenness
that the men did not know what was
coming till the train was on them. The
conductor of the train on which l rode
said that the train hands of the express
were not to blame. He believed the
foreman of the gang was responsible for
the disaster by neglecting to give warn

Sold His Wife for 5000.
New PHILADELPHIA lOhiol Telegram.

New Philadelphia (Ohio) Telegram.
About two years ago g. prominent
young man ofLockport, q small place
half mile south of here, married a
pretty young lady of this place. A
neighbor, q young fellow OF consider
able property, often noticed the
charming woman next door, and the
oftener he saw her the more he liked
her. Matters stopped not here. The
amorous neighbor went g. step further
and fell in love. It ia presumed the
pretty wife was not averse to admira-
tion and threw out some encourage
ment to her hopeless lover. At any
rate said hopeless sutton finally sum-
moned up courage to approach the
husband and offer $500 for his wife.
AT first the offer was scorned; then
it was considered and at last en-
braced. Wives were to be had for the
asking, but 5000 was accumulated
only alter long and ardent wooing.
So the transfer was made amid con-
calculations. The lucky manor
unlacky, as the case may be-inlmedi.
ately took precautions against any
remorse on the part OF the self-made
widower and carried his $500 wife to
the far west. The husband now re-
grets his action and is trying to get
his spouse back again.

Many Lose Homes by misunderstanding a
Department Decision.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 22.-On the
9Th instant, the secretary of the interior
in the case of the Fort Boise hay reser-
walton, decided that the land put in
reservation in excess of $40 acres,
the amount limited by law, was
illegally reserved. and declared it open
to entry and settlement Since the pro-
mitigation of that decision, and in the
belief that the ruling of the secretary in
that case applied to the Fort Ellis mill
tary reservation in Montana, contain
ing $1,000 acres, a large number of
settlers have entered upon and asserted
claims to the land in the latter reserva-
ton Acting Secretary Muldrow to-day,
IN letter to the custodian of Fort Ellis,
decides that the law of 1858 limiting mil
itaFy reservation to $40 acres applied to
the territory of Oregon as then consti-
tuted, its eastern boundary being the
summit of the Rocky Mountains and
As Fort Ellis is east of that boundary line
it does not come within the purview of
the statute limiting the area of military
reservations. Settlers will be notified
that their claims have no foundation in

Cesar Was Too Obedient.
From the Boston SATURDAY. Gazette.

From the Boston Saturday Gazette.
A gentleman residing at the West
End owns dog whose wonderful in
telligence is the pride and boast OF his
master. ''You give that dog anything
he can carry" said the gentleman the
other day to friend who was stroll
ing with him and the dog through
West Roxbury Park, Sand tell him to
take 1t home directly, and he will i'm
mediately obey" Just then gust of
wind lifted the speakers hat and sent
it spinning across the grass.
'"Take that home, Cesar" shouted
the friend in a spirit OF mischief. Sure
enough, the dog seized the soft felt,
and started. Contrary orders min
gled with profanity were of no avail,
and the unhappy owner of that well
trained dog followed in a herdio, with
a handkerchief over his bald head.
The hat was found in the back yard,
looking like printing Office towel.

New York 'Longshoremen Again Prepa1

ed to Dictate to Employers.
New YORK, July 20.-The Union
'longshoremen are again in the ascend
ant and have given notice that they
want the old rates Of wages for night
work and work done on Sundays
and other holidays. Previous to the
great strike of last winter, when
the 'longshoremen struck out Of sympa-
thy with the coal beavers, and also to
help out the striking 'longshoremen of
the Old Dominion Steamship Company.
Most of them are getting between 80 and
40 cents an hour tor day work and 90
cents for night work, but when
the great strike was lost and
they applied for work on the
piers they found that the steamship
company would pay but As cents for
night work and they were told that they
could not get any more. The compa-
MES also refused to discharge the new
hands and offered employment only to
those old hands for whom vacancies
could be found. Such 'longshoremen
accepted the inevitable and grad
ually the companies discharged
the green hands who were taken
during the strike and put old men in
their places, because they could get
more work out of them in a given time.
In course of time all, or nearly all, OF
the old hands were at work again, and
they decided to make an effort to get
their old rates. Yesterday their officers
published a notice to ship owners,
stevedores, and captains, demanding
80 cents per hour for night work and
work on legal holidays.

STREAToR, ILL.,, July 21.-At 2:30 thi
morning the city was aroused by a ter
rife explosion, which was imme-
diately followed by the ringing
of the fire bells. In few
minutes it was learned that the powder
house of the Chicago, Wilmington &
Vermillion Coal Company had been
struck by lightning and between 5000
and 10000 pounds of powder had ex-
ploded Every dwelling on the south

entirely demolished. Not a vestige Of
the powder house remains. while,
where it stood, is hole about sixty feet

powder house, was probably fatally
Injured The number of minor casualties
will reach nearly 1C0. There were forty
five dwellings almost totally demolished.

SPREADING A VERY BIG WING.
Projection for the King of Samva.


Protection for the King of Samva.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July pa local paper
SAYS that Sir John B. Thurston, lieutenant
governor of the FIJI Islands, has gone to
Washington on a very important mis-
sion. While Mr.. Thurston was here he
kept his business very secret, and left
the impression that his trip was one for
pleasure solely. However, it has leaked
out that his object is to attend
an important meeting regarding West
ern Pacific affairs, in which the
United States is taking friendly inter-
est. Exactly what the meeting will do
cannot be said, but it is known that the
representatives from Great Britain, the
United States and Germany are present,
and it is believed that Samoan affairs
will be talked over and some kind
of triple alliance of the three gov
ernments arranged. Although Samoa
possesses a king, the government of the
islands is in most unsatisfactory state,
the condition being not unlike that of
the Sandwich Islands. 1t is possible
that the tripartite conference is the re-
suit of a desire to establish more sta
BILE form of government, and the repre-
sentatives may fix upon some plan by
which one government cannot obtain an
undue advantage of the Samoan COM
merce to the detriment of the others.
